Study on a schedule that works for you
Online learning should fit around your responsibilities, not require you to rearrange every week around a fixed class time. This programme does not require you to be online at specific times and dates.
That flexibility gives you room to study before work, after family commitments or whenever you can concentrate best. You can engage with the material in a way that suits your routine in Cleveland Heights.
Take your learning wherever life takes you
Your studies are not tied to one desk or even one country. You can study from anywhere in the world, whether you are at home, commuting or travelling.
Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. It is a practical way to keep learning when you are on the move or do not have a reliable connection.
Show what you know through open-book assessments
Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. These give you an opportunity to work with the learning materials as you develop and communicate your understanding.
For an HR professional, the value of knowledge often lies in how thoughtfully it is applied. Open-book assessment encourages you to engage with ideas, evaluate them and express your reasoning clearly.

Your learning is supported by tutors and faculty who have graduated from world-renowned universities, including Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.
